The Winter Guest

1997108 minDrama 6.4

It's winter in a small Scottish village near the sea, and multiple lives intersect in a day. Frances has just lost her husband to an early death, so her mother, Elspeth, travels to Frances' house to reconnect with her daughter and grandson, Alex. Meanwhile, old women Chloe and Lily go to a funeral, youngsters Sam and Tom cut class, and Alex gets a crush on tomboy Nita.

Editor's Verdict

NO

"The movie is explicitly set in winter, and it was released near the holidays, but the plot centers around grief, family reconnection, and adolescent drama entirely independent of the Christmas holiday. Christmas elements are incidental to the narrative."
